Replace * with your username i.e max

su
gedit /home/max/.fusion-icon-start

add this

#! /bin/bash
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1 fusion-icon


Then save and exit gedit , then you need make the script executable

chmod +x /home/max/.fusion-icon-start

Then add fusion-icon to session

gnome-session-properties

In the name box put

fusion-icon

In the command box put

/home/max/.fusion-icon-start

P.S

compiz (cube) - Warn: Failed to load slide: freedesktop

this isn't a error

Hi,
so basically I just need to run the script
on the link http://nicofo.tuxfamily.org/dotclea...beryl-on-fedora
and ask for compiz-fision installation right?
or may i install both and only after decide which one to use (as it is said dome topics before)?
which one would you install beryl or compiz-fusion?
thank you a lot guys

Hello,

I answer too late since I've seen that you have install compiz-fusion.

But y can still install compiz-fusion with my script:

wget http://nicofo.tuxfamily.org/scripts/xgl/installXGL_EN
sh installXGL_EN -cb

REM: it automates the steps you have followed to install compiz repo + compiz paquages for gnome or kde depending on your desktop
REM2: it doesn't install XGL !! => you can use this script with the option "-cb" without worrying of xgl !
REM3: it proposes also to you to install compiz-fusion (instead of compiz) / beryl / compiz (instead of compiz-fusion)
REM4: to remove compiz-fusion and or beryl, use "sh installXGL_EN -rcb" instead

NOTE: compiz-fusion and beryl ARE compatible ! BUT NOT EMERALD ! (i.e the emerald installed with compiz-fusion will NOT work with beryl and vice-versa). That's not really a problem since you can choose another window-decorator instead.
example: you have installed compiz-fusion and want to use beryl: choose "heliodor" as window decorator (from the beryl red icon).



If you want to run compiz-fusion automatically at your session startup, you can also try my other script: (see here (Fr) )

wget http://nicofo.tuxfamily.org/scripts/demarrage3D.tar.gz
tar -xzf demarrage3D.tar.gz
./installDemarrage3D

Now restart just your gnome or kde session ==> that's it: compiz-fusion is running ;-)

Aye.. I followed your update on downgrading the Xorg.. I got Compiz put on except when I run it.. I end up with no Titlebars.. Can't change themes.. Any ideas?

[StormChaser]

Im getting this error.. I forgot to set my Session to GNOME + XGL..

Hi, thank you all,

about running fusion when the session start, I did

add this
#! /bin/bash
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1 fusion-icon


Then save and exit gedit , then you need make the script executable


Code:

chmod +x /home/max/.fusion-icon-start



Then add fusion-icon to session


Code:

gnome-session-properties



In the name box put

Quote:
fusion-icon



In the command box put

Quote:
/home/max/.fusion-icon-start

but I still can't find the session to choose at
the log in screen....... What am I missing?
then I am wondering how should I do to update the pulgins and the effects
I can choose in the compiz fusio config settings.

Thank you all

PS
Fusion is really amazing
it is great

There is no session choice at the login screen as this was for XGL only !!!

[ispanico]

Hi,

so the script you suggest me to create is just to
run fusion-icon without all the path before?

thank you

Yes!!!



I have posted more than enough info on how to do this .

[ispanico]

Thank you very much.
for all your help.

Now I understand.

cheers

Sorry for this,
I need to ask why after installing fusion-compiz
xine doesn't work properly: while seeing the moving the image flashes (it seems like it is not synchronize , don't know how to explain well)
but before installing fusion it used to work fine.

Should I need to disable fusion to use xine?
In this case how?

sorry
I tried to understand the reason for this but no success...
thank you

Try


gedit /home/max/.xine/config


and change the video driver from "auto" to "xvmc" ( see the highlighted text ) ( don't paste & copy from here as I have had to remove half the file so it was small enough to post )

Hello,

I did it, (I didn't restart the laptop)
it seems it hasn't change (may be it happens less often the effect but it is still affected by this effect)
I noticed that this time this effect did't start at the beginning with the movie, but when I use the right click to
see the xine display option in order to put the full screen, the option menu creates problem with the video image:
they interfere (it is like the video and the menu go one below the other in sequence).
Then the effect I told before start appearing during the video reproduction.

I also noticed that after that I change auto -> xvmc then I execute xine and I noticed all that I have explained above. then I looked into the file where I changed the configuration and I found that the
changes has changed again to auto.
I re changed to control that I had saved before but the same thing happened

Thank you.
